You ask for advice, I take you seriously … and you don’t like that … cool. I will still do what I can.
As I said, and as you yourself emphasized … the “feel “ of the bike is important. But if one was set up just a little badly and the other not … I wouldn’t spend a bunch of money uyntil I got them both dialed in, so I could have a better comparison.
If you don’t want advice … yeah, don’t ask for it?
Or do, and get what you get.
In any case, you are going to get what you get, and since I don’t work for either brand …. Enjoy the ride.
To me, in order to get a decent fit, it's either through trial and error over time on your own, or an expensive fit with some guy with all kinds of fancy tape measures. Neither of which were practical under those circumstances. My guy at the LBS got as close as he could without devoting excessive time to it. Could the set ups been better? Sure. But I had what I had. Regardless, I was able to glean quite a bit of info from the head-to-head rides.
Thanks for your "advice."
